History
- Rutile is named after the Latin word "rutilah", which means golden red and refers to its colour, which is particularly visible under light. When Rutile occurs in Quartz, Kunzite and Hematite it is also called "Angel Hair", meaning "angel hair". Rutile is the ore of Titan. It forms in beautiful needle-like inclusions. Rutile needles have very beautiful patterns and look like miniature sculptures. Each Rutile is quite unique. Some have very thin, hair-like needles, others have a dense group of thicker needles. The tiny Rutile needles found in stones cause an optical phenomenon known as a star. Rutile crystals often form elbow-shaped or cyclic twins.

Care
Rutil je lahko precej občutljiv na močan pritisk, visoke temperature in ostre gospodinjske kemikalije ter čistila. Izogibajte se izpostavljanju Rutila belilom ali žveplovi kislini. Rutil očistite s toplo milnico. Obrišite ga z mehko krpo in se prepričajte, da odstranite morebitne ostanke milnice. Shranjevanje nakita iz kamnov in same kamne je najbolje dati v škatlo prevlečeno s tkanino ali pa jih zavijemo v krpico ločeno od ostalih in s tem preprečimo samo škodo in morebitne praske. Priporočljivo je, da nakita ne nosite med večjimi fizičnimi aktivnostmi, kot so telovadba ali šport. Izogibajte se pršenju parfuma in laka za lase direktno po svojem nakitu.
